“From our very first tour all the way to the end of our wedding day, we truly could not have asked for a more perfect wedding experience. We will forever be grateful to the incredible staff at Grassy Hill Country Club for making such an important and meaningful day feel absolutely magical and stress free. Our top priorities in searching for a venue were an enclosed outdoor ceremony space, indoor/outdoor cocktail hour space, lots of light and accessibility for guests both driving and commuting in from NYC. This venue fit all of these and we booked our date after our first visit. We appreciated the friendliness of the tour because they were very open and accommodating about any ideas we had and offered helpful ideas from previous weddings. The tour didn’t feel rushed or sales-focused like we experienced at a few of the nearby venues. The venue itself is gorgeous, with a nice hilly ride up into a mountain view and we loved that the ceremony gazebo was enclosed and didn’t have a view of golfers on the course. The communication with the general manager Tim was smooth from the beginning and he was extremely responsive to our questions at all hours of the day. His check-ins made us feel confident that everything was being checked off our list as we got closer to the wedding date. He made planning the wedding from out of state extremely easy by recommending great local vendors. Along with assisting with all of the small details he also personally ran the rehearsal where his attention to detail was very helpful and left everyone feeling prepared the night before the wedding. As a bride, I could not have been more thankful for the help of Tim and Tia the morning of my wedding. As expected I was full of emotions but their coordination made sure I was never hungry, hot or stressed. Being able to get ready at the venue let me have a calm morning and having multiple rooms allowed my husband and I to take turns taking photos with our family and side of the bridal party ahead of the ceremony without running into each other. Tia never missed a step and kept the bridal party well fed and comfortable. On top of that she assisted me with lining up with my father and gave me great words of comfort before such a big moment. From that point forward everything was taken care of by the amazing staff and we were able to fully be present at our wedding. They coordinated with the DJ and photographer and everything felt perfectly paced. The outdoor area overlooking the mountain was a perfect spot to step out, watch the beautiful sunset and get some fresh air. Thank you again to Tim, Tia and all of the incredible staff who made our day perfect.”

“The team at Baingan was incredibly helpful, kind and professional throughout the entire wedding planning process. The venue itself was perfect for our special day - they have a great parking space that was convenient for our number of guests, a beautifully decorated indoor space, and a lovely covered outdoor deck that our guests enjoyed with amazing views of trees, mountains and gorgeous lake. The breeze was heavenly and everyone was comfortable and happy. The staff went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly, from the delicious food (the naan and masala chai were huge hits!) to ensuring all the little details were taken care of. We are so grateful to the Baingan team for contributing to making our intimate wedding celebration special.”

The property itself was beautiful and landscapers were there the morning of our wedding making sure the landscape and leaves were all cleared. Everything went very smooth from start to finish, and the staff were extremely helpful throughout the entire day/night. The staff were professional and so so nice.
